How to choose the right dress for your body type
id: 10041628

Body type: "Pear"
This type of figure is characterized by narrow shoulders, a pronounced waist, heavy wide hips. The shoulders are often sloping, and the overall silhouette widens towards the bottom.

Task: hide the hips, emphasize the indisputable dignity of the waist, transfer all the accents to the upper part of the figure.

I do not recommend dresses with a straight cut, narrowed to the bottom or tight silhouettes. From this, the hips will appear even wider. Shiny and textured fabrics also make the bottom heavier. Sometimes, the difference between the waist and hips is so piquant and so mesmerizing that it is simply a crime not to demonstrate it. After all, a lot depends on the specific waist, specific hips and specific women. And also from the cut, color and texture of the dress and belt.

Shape Type: Apple or Oval
This type of figure is characterized by lush breasts, smoothly turning into the stomach and the absence of a waist. Narrow hips and slender legs are common. An integrated approach will help an apple, including diet, sports and aesthetic medicine, as well as the right silhouettes and textures.

Task: divert attention from the stomach.

It is necessary to visually stretch the figure. We achieve this by dividing colors (color blocking) vertically, as well as vertical lines, seams and finishes. We focus on the merits: face, décolleté, legs, beautiful fingers, hair. Both tight and baggy silhouettes should be avoided. Both will make you appear wider in the problem area. For an apple, the shape is important, and, accordingly, the fabrics that will hold this shape. Looking for cool and neutral colors from medium to dark saturation. Dresses with an overestimated empire waist line are suitable, a case with vertical seams and color blocking is possible. Loose straight-cut dresses made of dense soft fabric are also suitable.

Shape type: "Rectangle"
The name speaks for itself: the shoulders are active, clearly defined, straight into the torso. The waist is not pronounced, all lines of the body are clear, straight, parallel.

Task: stretch the silhouette and visually create a waist where there is none. At the very least, offset the shortcomings.

You will be treated extremely kindly by straight-cut dresses that match the lines of the figure. The beauty of the rectangle and its style are emphasized by geometric patterns and ornaments on fabrics. It is worth abandoning smooth, ornate patterns, as well as all kinds of flowers. Strict business dresses, as well as A-line and Art Deco style dresses with a low waist will decorate this type of figure. Suitable deep or medium, but narrow V-shaped necklines in the neckline. If we have a slender rectangle, then we can create the effect of a waist by visually expanding the shoulder area and hips. For example, the top of the dress has a horizontal neckline, perhaps with a flounce that does not give up its positions, the bottom of the dress is a fluffy skirt, and in the waist area there is a sash belt. A stylized kimono will work approximately the same way.
